Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal
What Is Alexandrite Laser?
The Alexandrite laser is a medical-grade laser system with a 755 nm wavelength that specifically targets melanin in the hair follicle. It is highly effective for individuals with light skin and dark hair. Thanks to its fast pulse rate, it allows rapid treatment over large areas, making it one of the most preferred laser hair removal systems in aesthetic and dermatology clinics.
How Does It Work?
The laser emits energy that is absorbed by melanin, the pigment found in hair. This energy is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding skin. By disabling the follicle, future hair growth is either prevented or significantly reduced, offering long-term results.
Who Is It Suitable For?
• Individuals with fair skin and dark hair
• Men and women seeking long-term hair reduction
• People who want an alternative to shaving, waxing, or depilation
• Those experiencing ingrown hairs or razor bumps
• Ideal for treating large areas like the legs, back, underarms, or bikini line ✅
